Djibouti: Consumer price index (2010 = 100)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Djibouti's consumer price index (2010 = 100) fell 0.36 on 2024 (from 114.86 to 114.5).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1982 to 2024), the average change was +2.34 and a typical year strayed about 4.73 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.6 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 18.15 in 1986 and the biggest yearly fall was 13.69 in 2013. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 2.12 a year. A straight line explains 96% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures

Index of the prices of consumption goods and services, as compared to a certain reference period (2010=100).

Limitations: Consumer price indexes should be interpreted with caution. The definition of a household, the basket of goods, and the geographic (urban or rural) and income group coverage of consumer price surveys can vary widely by country. In addition, weights are derived from household expenditure surveys, which, for budgetary reasons, tend to be conducted infrequently in developing countries, impairing comparability over time. Although useful for measuring consumer price inflation within a country, consumer price indexes are of less value in comparing countries.
